Elementary band registration takes place each year at the end of fourth grade. Near the end of the school year, the band staff visits each elementary school to perform a demonstration assembly highlighting the sounds of each instrument available to your student.
The following week, band staff as well as professional musicians from Quinlan & Fabish, our local music vendor, come to each school to test every fourth grade student on two to three instruments of his or her choice. This is a very exciting opportunity for your child to experience what it's like to hold and play on an instrument, and hopefully this will spark their interest in taking lessons the following year.
Finally, we hold two beginning band registration nights for all interested families. If your child is interested in participating in the band program during their fifth grade year, you must attend one of these registration nights. You will be able to meet your child's band teacher as well as ask any questions about the program that you might have. Quinlan & Fabish will have a table setup to rent the instruments that your child will then receive at the start of the following year.
